MATT3R: Origin of Creation Spain

For Madrid’s Urban Digital Art Festival, MMMAD, Valenciabased creative studio Vitamin has created MATT3R: Origin of Creation, a real-time, interactive audiovisual experience about the origin of creation, an abstract concept that combines science and consciousness to focus on the whole as an ensemble and an equal. With eight years of experience within the artistic and technological world, developing innovative strategies and ideas and materialising unique interactive experiences, Vitamin’s approach allows users to be participants and main characters in their work in a personalised, dynamic way. MMMAD was held in Madrid throughout May 2021, with a focus on the intersection between digital culture and public space. The festival used numerous locations, and included

exhibitions, installations, workshops, and meetings throughout its schedule. With MATT3R, Vitamin created an immersive space in an 80sqm room within Madrid’s Taller de Ideas venue, using a 10x3-metre curved LED screen as a central elements, accompanied by a series of LED tubes that reacted to the audiovisuals in real-time, with light being a fundamental element within the piece. The interactive experience ponders and digitally interprets quantum physics, the fundamental forces and the numerical and geometric patterns that rule the universe and originate matter, creating realities to understand itself. Starting the journey in the first dimension, the visuals evolve incorporating physical parameters and constants to the behaviour of the different digital particles. During the experience, the particles react to the fundamental forces of the universe such as gravitational, electromagnetic, strong and weak. Vitamin has designed the installation to incorporate interactivity. Throughout the experience, users can interact with it by modifying the audiovisual trajectories and adding parameters, making each show unique and unrepeatable. Following its appearance at MMMAD, Vitamin hope to take MATT3R on tour and display it at festivals around the world throughout 2021 and 2022. www.vitamin-arte.com
